Hi there, I’m Stephan, an illustrator based in Hamburg, Germany. I grew up in a small village near the border to Luxembourg, surrounded by forest, meadows and farmland. In 2011 I graduated from art school (htk) in Hamburg. After 3 years working in advertising as an Art Director, I quit my job to draw a comic book and decided to take the opportunity to become a full-time freelance illustrator.
